Bhubaneswar: The coronavirus-induced prolonged lockdown has hit all sections of the society hard, be it financially or mentally. With a view to addressing people’s needs, teams from District Mental Health Programme of the Odisha government’s Health and Family Welfare Department (H&FW) have been visiting Temporary Medical Centres (TMCs) to help people keep their spirits up.
